Of medium weight and nicely balanced, the five knives in this set furnish a cook with essential cutting edges. They are an 8-inch chef's knife for rocking through chopping and mincing tasks; an 8-inch slicing knife for roasts, hams, poultry, and cheese; a 6-inch sandwich knife for utility jobs; a 4-1/4-inch serrated knife for tomatoes and soft-skinned fruits; and a 3-1/8-inch paring knife for peeling and cleaning vegetables and fruits. A 9-inch sharpening steel comes along for keeping knife edges aligned, and an eight-slot wood storage block rounds out the seven-piece set. To preserve the edges, the knives should be hand washed. --Fred BrackWhat's in the Box 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch slicing knife, 6-inch sandwich knife, 4-1/4-inch serrated knife, 3-1/8-inch paring knife, 9-inch sharpening steel, eight-slot wood storage block
